The most accurate and reliable solution for the iPhone, MotionX-GPS embeds the
functionality of an advanced handheld GPS unit into a simple and intuitive iPhone
application. Use MotionX-GPS to track outdoor activities such as hiking, running,
biking, sailing, skiing, or any other activity where you want to track your route. It is
also ideal for geocaching and for sharing the coordinates of your favorite locations.

GPS requires a direct “line-of-sight” to communicate with satellites. Your iPhone must
have a clear view of the sky to locate at least three satellites in order to give accurate
position information. If you are indoors, in a wooded area or surrounded by buildings,
you may be unable to acquire an accurate signal.
